FUNCTION OF A BEARING

The main function of a rotating shaft is to transmit

power from one end of the line to the other.

It needs a good support to ensure stability and

frictionless rotation. The support for the shaft
is known as bearing.

The shaft has a running fit in a bearing. All

bearing are provided some lubrication arrangement
to reduced friction between shaft and bearing.

Products
NEI manufactures bearings in about 1000
different sizes. The size of bearings manufactured
by NBC ranges from 25mm to 1.3 meter Outer
Diameter.
Ball bearings
Steel ball bearings
Tapered roller bearings
Railway bearings
Large diameter bearings

Ball bearings are manufacturing

Hot forged on hammer.

Ground.
Heat treated.
Polished.
Assemble into the bearing part

Balls

The balls are a little more difficult to make,

even though their shape is very simple.
The balls start out as thick wire.
This wire is fed from a roll into a machine
that cuts off a short piece, and then
smashes both ends in toward the middle.
This process is called cold heading.
That part is put on the heating zone .

In this zone we heated the bearing ball

at 673k
Temperature at this temperature the
agrain size will become in over first
position
After the heat treatment process, the
races are ready for finishing.
